30 Days Wild 2016

May 16th, 2016


Last year, I took part in 30 Days Wild throughout June, an event organised by The Wildlife Trust (in the UK) and several people here joined in using the tag 30dayswild (see those photos here - http://365project.org/tags/30dayswild)



The idea is to spend some time outdoors each day - from a full days walking, climbing a mountain or a wildlife watching trip to the simplest of things like drinking your coffee in the garden in the morning, identifying a wildflower or feeding the birds.



You can find out a little more in the link below and sign up to receive your 30 Days Wild pack and join in - though you don't have to sign up to join in, you can just join in and tag your photos here!

30 Days Wild info & sign up

Last year, I put together three blog posts each containing 30 'wild ideas' to offer a little inspiration for the challenge - I hope they will be of use to one or two of you who want to join in!

All you need to do to take part this June is tag your photos 30dayswild2016

I blogged 30 Days Wild last year here - http://louises30dayswild.blogspot.co.uk (actually, I carried it on and have almost completed a whole 366 Days Wild!) and will do so again this June.

You can find my photos and daily wild activities by looking at my 365 project for last June ... http://365project.org/roachling/365/2015-06




I hope I can tempt a few people here to join in with me and have a Wild June!

Remember, all you need to do to join in is tag your 30 Days Wild photos this June 30dayswild2016

I was just thinking about you and your 366 wild days. Will join for some days or maybe even a month (that's what happened last year).
May 16th, 2016
@overalvandaan Great, I hoped you would join in as I remember you doing it last year!
May 16th, 2016
Hoping to join you again Louise. I really enjoyed it last year.
May 16th, 2016
@flowerfairyann Excellent! I was hoping to see you joining in too :)
May 16th, 2016
Thanks for posting about this wonderful project! I live in the country, and spend a lot of time gardening and birding -- so pretty much my whole 365 Project is "wild"! However, reading your posts and seeing your pics has given me ideas to expand beyond the regular pics of just flowers and birds ...Thanks! I've signed up for the project and hopefully will remember to start using the 30dayswild2016 hashtag here on 365 in June.

I was leaning towards film in june but this will easily work
May 16th, 2016
We're doing it again but will be recording it on Twitter rather than on here - will see you over there though!
May 17th, 2016
I really enjoyed last year - thanks for organizing this - I'm definitely in!
May 17th, 2016
Ditto Lin's comments above. I'm in too.
May 17th, 2016
I signed up! I could use a nudge outside.

@roachling
Hi and thanks Louise
I did some last year, so might join in for some of June. Its winter here and my phojo has all but disappeared but will see what I can do.
May 17th, 2016
@rachelwithey I'll look out for your posts!

@phillyphotos @linnypinny @genealogygenie @bsheppard @dibzgreasley

Great to hear from you all, thanks for replying! I'm looking forward to 30 Days Wild again and to seeing all the photos here!
May 17th, 2016
@dsp2 I'm glad my blog has inspired you! I really enjoyed 30 Days Wild last year so I hope you'll enjoy it this time, look forward to your photos!
May 17th, 2016
Ooh! Love this idea. I'm in...hopefully I can just remember! :)
May 17th, 2016
I already signed up for this, so count me in. :) :)
May 17th, 2016
This might be just what I need to get back into daily/regular shooting. And I gravitate toward outdoor shots. Thanks for sharing!
May 17th, 2016
Thanks so much for posting the info about this fantastic project, Louise! It sounds like a project I will thoroughly enjoy! I signed up online for 30 Days Wild and will be tagging my photos here on 365! I'm looking forward to my month in the wild! :-)
May 17th, 2016
@dianen Great! I will probably do a reminder thread near the end of May ;)
May 17th, 2016
@emrob @gaylewood @stephanies

Excellent! I look forward to seeing your wild photos!
May 17th, 2016
Oh, awesome. Now I have an excuse to shoot nature instead of people! LOL!
May 17th, 2016
Thanks for the info Louse, I've signed up, it sounds like a great idea! Looking forward to it, should be an interesting month.
May 17th, 2016
I have signed up- I have a holiday in June which will help and a significant birthday so time to go wild anyway!

May 17th, 2016
This looks like a lot of fun! Definitely a nice little motivation to encourage what I already try to do. I signed up but I have my doubts that they'll send anything to the US, haha.
May 18th, 2016
@homeschoolmom @inthecloud5 @lizranger
Great to see you will be joining in!
May 18th, 2016
@claycameras hmmm, yes I think that may be unlikely, but you can download the wall chart and ideas cards as PDFs so you can still join in! (I can send them to you if you missed that option at sign up).

The best thing is taking part though, and you can definitely do that!

I know some of you will have already seen this page so sorry if you're already aware but for anyone who hasn't seen it...

http://www.mywildlife.org.uk/30dayswild/

has a link to some 30 days wild bloggers (should you wish to browse or look for inspiration) and if you scroll down (and keep on scrolling!) you'll see 101 Random Acts of Wildness - plenty of ideas for your own 30 Days Wild.


May 18th, 2016
@roachling I just wanted to be certain that I understand correctly how to participate: I downloaded the wall chart and pdf cards, but it seems that the cards are just suggestions/ideas and not a required theme of the day for everyone to follow ...Is that correct?
May 18th, 2016
@dsp2 yes, the cards are suggestions. There aren't any themes of the day or anything - it's entirely up to you what you do each day - how long you spend outdoors and how simple or challenging your wild time is. There are no rules other than to spend a bit of time outdoors each day!

I think the random acts of wildness linked above will give you lots of ideas but you can also invent you own and do 30 Days Wild however suits you,
May 18th, 2016
Ooh I hadn't heard of this, sounds interesting! Great photo opportunities though too, I'll look into it...
May 18th, 2016
Thanks so much Louise @roachling I hadn't seen this link - I loved your 90 ideas too!
May 19th, 2016
@roachling I enjoyed this last year and although I will be travelling from mid-June onwards I will try to remember to take, post and tag my wild times.
May 19th, 2016
This is such a cool idea! I'm not sure I can stick to one theme for an entire month (I've tried!) but I sure will give it a shot. I love the idea!!
May 19th, 2016
@kerosene You can just join in on the days you can :) You could adapt it to just taking a photo of something natural everyday - grass, bark, leaves, different flowers, clouds, birds, bugs etc etc etc! It doesn't have to be complicated and time consuming and there are no strict rules about the theme, just enjoy nature in some way each day! I'll look forward to seeing your photos.
May 19th, 2016
@kiwinanna @milliebrand

Thanks for joining in! Look forward to seeing your photos.
May 19th, 2016
@stephanies Hope they can inspire you on a day when you're struggling! Either my 90 ideas or the 101 random acts suggested by the wildlife trust!
May 27th, 2016
I have registered for it and will be taking part in here too.
May 27th, 2016
@la_photographic Great! I'll look forward to your photos :)
May 30th, 2016
Great!!
